Robortello's ‘Conjecture’ at Aeschylus, Supplices 337
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2009
Extract
At Supplices 337, as part of the increasingly tense stichomythic testing between the Danaids and Pelasgus, the Danaids utter an emotional question, which reads in all the MSS, that is M and the apographa Ma, Mb, Mc, Me, Md(E)

1 None of the MSS assigns the verse; there is almost complete modern consensus that it should go to the Danaids (or their leader), but Wilamowitz gives it to Pelasgus.

3 The reference to the scholia, when pursued, leads only to a marginal scholium in M which reads: κατ' ἔχθραν δ***λoνóτι [accents thus] · τ⋯C γ⋯ρ τoὺc ἂνδραc δεcϕóταc ***νoιτo; all the apographa of M containing scholia (Ma, Mb, Me, Md(E), Mg, Mi, Mj, Ml) also read ***νoιτo (Mb miscopies M as ***νoιτoι).
